Add custom fields to risks in risk register

Arnold Tim

The Risk Register currently has predefined fields, limiting flexibility for different risk management needs. Adding custom fields would allow users to tailor risk entries to their specific requirements.

Use Case

Risk management processes vary across organizations, and predefined fields may not always capture all necessary details. For example:

A financial institution might need a "Regulatory Compliance Impact" field.
A tech company might want a "Data Sensitivity Level" field.
A project-based organization could track risks by "Department" or "Project Phase."

Thanks for feedback! Historically when Secfix customers asked for custom fields (a common feature request), deeper investigation revealed that 40% of cases were about some more specific use cases that could be implemented in various ways but often slow you down long term. We will need to keep this open and collect more feedback to be able to map out different use cases and find the right solution.
